Scholarship Opportunities for Undocumented AB 540 Students Undocumented students are encouraged to apply for funding from outside organizations that offer scholarships to students without regard to their citizenship status. For scholarships requesting a Social Security number, students should contact the organization and inquire if that is definitely required for applying. Students should also inquire if a Tax ID number can be substituted for a Social Security number. Students can obtain a Tax ID number from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). If US citizenship is indicated as a requirement, students should still contact the organization and inquire if that is truly required.
